03x11 - And to All a Good Night

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Felicity...

Honey, for your first time,

all I can say is, "Oh, my God."

Uh-huh.

He pulled a g*n on
you? Are you kiddin' me?

He had no idea that it was
me. He was really, really high.

That doesn't matter.
That's not an excuse, Molly.

Get your things.
You're coming with me.

She doesn't want to go!
This is not your problem!

I can't just walk away from him.

Here?

Um, a little to the left.

How's this? This is good.

That's perfect right
there. Thank you.

Hey, you guys.
These fliers are great.

Um, but what does
"cocktail attire" mean exactly?

Um, dressy but not so dressy.

Oh. Well, I wish I
felt like celebratin'.

Come on, it's Christmas.

I feel like such an idiot. Going back
with James, that was just so stupid.

Wait a second. You realized
that was the wrong decision

and you left, and
you're back in rehab.

Yeah, I know.

And Sean's better. We survived
finals. We should all celebrate.

Hey, when do you
guys go to Florida?

Um, Monday, uh, if
Sean can get us the car.

He's gonna get
the car. We're goin'.

Unless my mom stays a day
later, and then we'll leave Tuesday.

I've always wanted
to go to Florida,

ever since I saw Miami Vice.

I don't think Florida is
so much like Miami Vice.

Felicity. Mm-hmm?

Um, do you realize I can actually
see my reflection in this countertop?

I know. I kind of cleaned up. I
just wanted my mom to feel...

Clean? Comfortable.

Hello?

Um, Molly's not here.

No, I'm... I'm not lying to you.

Gimme the phone.
Hey, it's, uh, Ben.

Yeah, she's not here, OK?

She's not here. No.

Listen to me. I really
think it'd be a good idea

if you just stopped
calling here so much, OK?

No, I'm not gonna argue with you.
Listen to me. This is a waste of time.

She's gonna call you when she
wants to call you. You understand me?

Wh... He's just... He's
crazy. Hang up on him.

All right, just shut
up for a second, OK?

Calm down. Cal...

Oh, that's great. Thank
you very much. Thank you.

I don't understand how you
spent a second with that guy!

The guy's not just a crackhead
or an addict or a dealer.

He's a total d*ck.
No, I'm serious!

If that guy didn't have a g*n, that would've
been a whole different conversation!

Hi, sweetheart. Hi.

How long... Did
you just get here?

No, we came in somewhere
between "crackhead" and "had a g*n."

Hey.

Um, this is Molly, and
you remember Ben.

Hey.

Uh-huh.

♪ Can you become

♪ Can you become

♪ A new version of you?

♪ New wallpaper

♪ New shoe leather

♪ A new way home

♪ I don't remember

♪ New version of you

♪ I need a new version of me

♪ New version of you

♪ I need a new version of me ♪

Congratulations. For what?

Ice Box. They love us. They
want us to write the first episode?

Yeah, "Hans the Turtle
Arrives at the Pet Store."

So what's wrong? Are you sick?

No, I'm just depressed.
Why? They love us.

I know. It's Christmastime,
though, you know?

Like holiday events,
cocktail parties...

Everyone has a girlfriend
or a boyfriend, even my wife.

Yeah, aren't you supposed
to be getting an annulment?

Well, I called her
about that last night,

and, um, you know, she's still in
Germany, and, uh, Ludwig answered.

He's actually a nice guy. We
talked for, like, a half an hour.

Noel...

OK, enough about my life.
What's going on with you?

Well, my mom's in town.
She stopped by this morning.

Oh, that's nice. Yeah.

I'm-I'm just worried
she doesn't like Ben.

Why not? What happened?

Nothing really happened.

I don't know, it's just
this feeling I have.

It could totally just be me.

Oh, yeah, it's probably you.

It's probably just me. Mm-hmm.

But, listen, we're having this
Christmas party at the apartment,

and you're coming.

Oh, good, great.
I'll bring Ludwig.

Santa's here and he's
got trees, baby. What?

We're sellin'
Christmas trees, man.

Some of the money is
goin' to the free pizza fund.

The extra toppings
are killin' me.

Classic supply-and-demand
economics.

Each tree cost us,
like, 14 bucks today.

The three days before Christmas,

we can get upwards
of... what? 50 bucks.

50 bucks for each tree! Wow.

We need someone to help us
load up the truck. What truck?

Downstairs,
double-parked. My cousin's.

He had a couple guys that were
gonna help us, but they got strep throat.

Little white dots. It's bad.

I can't. I got this play
tonight with Felicity's mom.

It's Copenhagen.
I can't do it. Sorry.

You still want to borrow my uncle's car
for your little trip to Florida, don't ya?

Are you extorting the car?

I put a big deposit down
on these trees, OK?

If we don't go back
and get these trees,

I lose everything. Come on.

All right, I got three hours.
Three hours, that's all...

Three hours? No
problem! We can do tons.

Come on, let's go.
You're my little elf.

I'm not your little
elf. Don't touch me.

What is the deal?

I don't know.

It was a mistake, wasn't
it, having sex with me?

Oh.

Was the experience
good? Yeah, it was good.

I... I don't know.

I'm just sitting here
mourning the whole situation.

So now you hate me?

No.

Well, you've been
quiet all week.

For the last couple days,
you've barely said a word.

I'm trying to respect that, but
what do you want me to do?

Elena, I got accepted
to Crossroads Africa.

They send volunteers to... Wow.

Set up clinics

and educate people about HIV.

Honey, that's great. That's
all medical schools look for!

When are you
going... this summer?

No, in three weeks.

It's for next semester.

I applied when you
and I weren't talking.

Kinda adds to the equation of
what's gonna happen to us, doesn't it?

Hey, Dino. What's up?

How are you,
man? All right. Good.

What's up, guys?
Which ones are ours?

All of 'em. What?
This is like a forest!

Guys, no. We gotta
come back tomorrow.

I got another shipment tonight.

I need all these
twigs outta here.

OK, we're gonna
need a bigger boat.

It's got me! It's got
me! I gotta go, man.

Afterwards, we can go to dinner.

Have you ever been to La Goulue?

Um, no, but I've heard of it.

You know, I'm just wondering
if maybe I should call Ben.

Well, he still has
a few minutes.

So I decided to splurge.

When we get home,

we're gonna go to
the Stanford Hotel.

Mom... They just
redid their whole spa.

You got my letter, right?

What letter?

I thought... I just thought
we talked about this,

about my plans.

No.

Uh, Ben and I are driving
to Florida for Christmas.

Oh! I thought...

I thought we were
flying back together.

Hello?

Molly?

I wanna see you.

James, I told
you not to call me.

You wanna see me,
too. No. No, I don't.

You called me.

Baby, I got caller ID.

OK, you know what?

That was a moment of weakness,

and, um, I'm sorry
if that confused you.

Um, but I'm in rehab now, James,

and I'm getting clean,

and that means I
cannot see you anymore.

I need to see you.

Just tomorrow,
please, meet with me.

I'm gonna hang up the phone now.

Don't hang up on me!

OK, Dino, thank you so much.
I'll have it back in the morning.

Don't worry about it.

Listen, if she starts to
smoke, just turn the heater on.

The heater? That
cools the engine down.

Guys, we're back in business.
Here. Man, I can't drive stick.

Give me the keys. I
can't miss the play.

Listen, drive carefully.
Follow me. OK?

You're gonna make
it. You'll be fine!

g*dd*mn! g*dd*mn it!

Hey.

Hi, I'm so sorry. I had to
go to Jersey to load trees,

and then the
truck wouldn't start.

But whatever. I'm really sorry.

The play's started, so...
Mrs. Porter, I'm so sorry.

Ms. Hunter. That's all right.

Let's just go while we can.
You have the tickets, right?

Oh, my God, no. I don't...

I don't have 'em.

OK! You know, we
can go to the restaurant.

You know what? This
actually works out better.

Mom, we can still go eat.

I have a headache. I'm just
gonna go back to the hotel.

We'll go back with you,
and we'll get room service.

That'll be fun.
Sure, that'd be great.

Why don't you guys
go by yourselves?

Just have some
quality time together.

Well, would you
like to come with us?

No, seriously, you guys go.

I'm-I'm really sorry
for the screwup.

That's OK.

We'll see you
tomorrow, I'm sure.

OK. I'm sorry.

Bye.

So tell me something.

Um, does Ben
get into fights a lot?

What do you mean? Nothing.

It's just, this morning,
we ran into a friend of his,

and he referred
to some... incident,

that somebody was injured?

Sean? Yeah, he broke his
nose, but it wasn't intentional.

No, this wasn't
Sean, I don't think.

How many fights has Ben been in?

Mom, there were
just these two things.

Oh.

So, how'd finals go?

Really good.

There was this one
philosophy class

I was a little nervous
about, but I survived.

Plus, it fulfills a requirement
for my major, so that's good.

Good. Good.

What's Ben's major?

Uh, technically...

Well, actually, he
doesn't have one yet.

Isn't he gonna be
a senior next year?

Yeah, but no one, you
know, sticks to their majors.

Like, I'm in Art, but I
can still be Pre-Med.

What subject is
Ben interested in?

Mom, I think you're getting
the wrong impression of Ben.

Really? OK, what...

Give me the right one.

I love him.

Hey!

Hey. Merry Christmas.

Oh, my God.

Hi. I guess your mom
kinda wants to k*ll me, huh?

No, she's all right.
Don't worry about it.

I think you've got
some sap on that...

You need
turpentine to get it off.

She said that you ran
into a friend or something?

Yes. Casey. Can
you believe that?

Yeah, she was kinda
curious what that was about.

At least she didn't find out
about the impromptu nose job.

She did kind of hear about that.

That's great. I just
feel bad for her.

I mean, this is her
first Christmas alone,

and I wasn't even
thinking about that.

And I wrote that letter, and...

What'd you say in the letter?

You know, she went
back to her maiden name.

It's just so weird. I
mean, Ms. Hunter?

That's my mom... Ms. Hunter.

Yeah, I... She's
just gonna be alone,

and I, uh...

I told her that maybe I
might change my plans

and maybe spend
the holidays with her.

It's just something I
wanna think about.

OK.

So the parrot's dyslexic? Yeah.

That's why she can't read
the cryptic love messages

that the turtle
keeps sending her.

Oh, the turtle's
also agoraphobic.

Oh, look at his little walk.

Well, that's all Felicity. She's
like a genius with movement.

She's really good at this.

I showed this to my graphics
professor, and he was blown away.

I'm really glad Felicity's working on
this with you. You work well together.

Yeah, I honestly don't
know what I'd do without her.

Hey! Hey.

Oh, God, we were supposed to
work on that today, weren't we?

Honey, Noel has been
showing this to me. It's fabulous.

Thank you. We can do this later.

No, don't be crazy.
You two work.

I'll just go on my annual
pilgrimage to Bergdorf's.

Are you sure? Absolutely.

Um, so we're still having
dinner tonight, though, right?

Yes, we are. Hey, Noel,
why don't you join us?

Oh! Uh...

Come on, can't say
no to a free meal.

Uh, yeah, that'd be good.

That'd be great.

Hello?

Sean?

Is anyone home?

Ho-ho-ho!

What the hell is this?

This? I got these
babies cut rate

from a little
connection I finessed.

Do you smell the
cash in here, or what?

Huh. Unbelievable.

It is pretty great,
isn't it? Yeah.

Look at that.

When I told you this idea
months ago, you said it was idiotic.

What are you
talkin' about? Hello!

My list of legal and barely legal
sources for quick holiday cash.

Pre-threaded unpopped popcorn.
Topless Santa photos. Trees.

This is an old gem from
my idea book, remember?

Blumberg's Deep-Discount
Holiday Tree Emporium.

Show me that book. Why?

What, are you accusing me of
stealing from it and then lying to you?

Yeah.

Well, you know what?

I would show you the
book, but it was stolen.

Oh, well, that's fine.

I mean, you can just cut
me in on the profits, 50/50.

What, are you out of
your mi... Are you serious?

No, Richard's already taken 20.

20 to Richard?

All the money's gonna
be spent on you anyway.

What do you care
where the profit's going?

OK, well, then have a
good holiday season...

single.

Oh, sing... Hey!

Thanks for walking me home.
It's no problem. I should go.

And I meant what I said
in the meetin' tonight.

I mean, you guys,
you've been my lifesavers.

I don't know how I'd have got
through the holidays without you.

Hey.

I knew I could find you.

James, what are you doin' here?

You called me.

Molly, you know
you wanna talk to me.

Uh, yeah, I know I called you,

and I'm sorry, 'cause
it was a mistake.

I can't talk to you,
James. Why not?

Let's just go inside...
Stay outta this.

No, I'm-I'm not
gonna stay outta this.

Hey, I'm sorry...

Hey! What happened?

Um, I just walked Molly home.

Oh, that was nice.

Yes. Hey, Noel. I didn't
know you were comin'.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, you want some?

No, I'm fine. I'll
order something.

So Noel was just telling me about the
animation project he and Felicity are doing.

Have you seen it, Ben?

Yeah, I have. It's
great. It's really great.

Um, is Molly OK?
Yeah, I think so.

Hey, how is rehab goin'?

It's going good,
as far as I know.

So Molly's in rehab?

Yeah, but
everything's a lot better.

She's not dating James anymore,
and it's... everything's better.

That's part of the reason I was
late, actually. We ran into James.

It took forever for him
to leave, but it was fine.

Everything was absolutely fine.

Which means he
wasn't armed this time.

Oh, this was the
young man with the g*n.

Yes, but there was no g*n.

Well, that's nice.

Mom...

Did I just blow it somehow?

I'm sorry. I'm just
not comfortable,

you having all these
conversations about weapons.

Mom, listen. There's
only one guy... James.

The only reason that came up
was because Ben is protecting us.

He's a college student,
not a police officer.

And now I found out
Molly's been using dr*gs.

OK, just stop, 'cause you're
jumping to all these conclusions.

I don't recognize
your life anymore.

I am worried about you!

I look at the guy you're with,
the one you claim to love,

and I see somebody
who doesn't know

what he wants
to do with his life,

who gets into fights...
often, it seems...

and who associates with drug
users and people who use g*ns...

Listen, Mom, you
do not know Ben.

I do know him. His
name was Paul Conrad.

My father forbid me to see him,

and I spent the whole
summer before college

running around,
sneaking out of the house.

I thought he was so
sexy and dangerous,

but, honey, these
guys are trouble.

OK, so if you don't want
me to date these guys,

who do you want me to date?

Noel?

What?

He's focused. He's smart.

He's adorable! And he's
obviously in love with you.

Mom, are you crazy?

Come on, the whole
Pet Store thing.

The turtle is obviously
in love with the parrot.

What?

Noel is so obviously the turtle.

Ohh! I can't believe I'm having
this conversation right now!

Do you not like him anymore?

Mom! I'm gonna go sit with my
friend Noel and my boyfriend Ben,

and I'll see you at the table.

Yes, I agree, she was
being really annoying.

Well, you know what
pissed me off the most,

is when Noel finally shut up

about his future in
graphic design or whatever

and she looked right at me
and said, "What about you?"

Like we hadn't just been
talkin' about what my plans are.

Wait a second.
What are you saying?

I think that she set me up.

OK, my mom is a lot of
things. She is not a cruel person.

I don't think you have to
be a cruel person to be cruel.

I had to say in front of you
and her and Mr. Graphic Genius

that I have no plans.

She just got divorced.
Just give her a break.

Yeah, maybe she's
being a little demanding.

There's a big difference between
demanding and obnoxious.

Yeah, and there's a difference between
being compassionate and being selfish.

That's great, defend
your mother. That's great.

That'd be great if I just turned
around and defended my dad.

Why are you so angry... because my
mom made you admit that you have no plans,

or because you have no plans?

Hello.

Just listen to me.

I love you.

James, will you just stop?

You know you love me.

I can't do this
anymore. Goodbye!

Don't hang up. I'm warning you.

Don't thr*aten me, OK?

I've told you this.
Stop callin' me.

I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I don't want to see you anymore.

Goodbye!

I know it's early,
but just open it.

Well, no, it's not that.

It's just I hope it's
not something dumb.

A leather whip?

Wow.

It was either that or a
leather bra and panties.

No, that's not even an option.
Leather panties don't breathe.

That's what the guy said.

Oh! Thank you.

Hey, at the risk of
sounding lame... Yeah?

And I will k*ll you

if you ever mention to
anyone that I brought this up...

but have you ever
been to Radio City

at Christmastime?

No. No, and I can't tonight

'cause Richard and I
are doing the trees...

What?

Yeah, I told you that.

You guys are-are
doing the trees?

Yeah, I told you that.

Are you gonna cut me in?

Megan...

I'm holding a whip.

No. It was my idea.

Get your greedy
little ass outta here.

You're kickin' me out
of a restaurant? Yes.

For having a good idea?
No, because you're a thief.

You're a cheapskate. You
freak me out. Go. I'm not kidding.

What?! Megan... wait a minute.

Do you know how
much this whip costs?

Get out of this restaurant! Unless,
of course, you want me to go.

Which would mean
you'd have to pay the bill...

Fine, I'll go. What a shock.
I knew that would work.

Merry Christmas.

Hi. Uh, can I get the number

for the New York Fire
Department, please?

No, I don't want
to report a fire.

I want to report a fire hazard.

So I was thinking we could
do a flashback right here

of the first time that Marty
goes into the pet store.

And you can meet
his first owner.

I didn't think about that,
but that's a really good idea.

We could introduce a
whole new character.

Maybe we could use
that guy that I drew

in the first scene
with the turtle.

Whatever happened
to that guy? Here.

Let's see. Right there.

He's here, right?

Yeah. OK, there you go.

OK. Mm-hmm.

Hey, so, last night,

my mom was a
little tough on Ben,

but she-she lightened
up in the end, right?

No.

Are you serious?

Yeah, it was really
uncomfortable.

That's why I was talking so much.
Did you think I was talking too much?

Yes. Really?

So, does she hate me, too?

You? Are you kidding
me? My mom loves you.

Yep, moms love me. It's
the curse of the Cranes.

Yeah, maybe you could
bring my mom to the party.

Oh, that's funny. Maybe I
could bring a noose to the party.

Hey! No, she's cute.
It's just, you know...

She's my mom. She's your mom.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Hey, you think the
turtle looks OK there?

Yeah, why?

I don't know. He's...
He's such a loser.

He is not.

Yeah... I think he is.

We've all fallen short
of the glory of God.

We're human, and we're weak.

God doesn't want
us to feel bad about it.

He wants to take this
opportunity to forgive you,

and the first step
in forgiveness

is to take responsibility
for our sins,

which is why you're here
today, the both of you.

I told you she was cool.

You are cool.

But I...

I don't feel like
I've-I've sinned.

I'm here today
because I love Tracy,

and I want our relationship
to work through this.

Premarital sex
is lust, not love.

With all deference
to the church,

the Bible won't tell
you what's in my heart.

Well, maybe it should.

You've come to a
crossroads in your relationship.

It's time to make a decision.

What do you want separately?
What do you want together?

Whoa, whoa. What
the hell's goin' on?

Someone ratted us out big time.

I think it was your neighbor,
that thin guy with the lazy eye.

I'm gonna k*ll you.

You Sean Bloomberg?

Uh, Blumberg, yeah.
You're... Fire Marshal Howard?

Storing these trees
in a private residence,

you might as well
be storing gasoline.

There goes that
idea. Shut up, Richard.

What if I donate to
the Fire Marshal fund?

If you wanna avoid a fine, you'll get
these trees outta here immediately.

OK, this sucks.

So what now, Tree Master?

We gotta get these trees
down to my cousin's lot.

I can't.

We can't do it without
you, so... Well, I can't.

I mean, these trees have ruined
my clothes, my chair, my life. No.

Ben, I need you.
You can't have me.

Ben, please... Sean!

What the hell's going on? Why are you in
such a bad mood? It can't just be the trees.

A large part of it is the trees.

These trees are a
huge investment for me.

Me. Just me, OK?

The same guy who allows
you to be late on the rent

more times than you pay it.

So, come on, man,
just this one time.

OK, yes. Yes.

Thanks, man. Um, let's get
these down to the sidewalk.

Come on.

What's goin' on now?

Oh, somebody called
the fire department,

and we have to
move all the trees.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not all right.

Now I've gotta go to the
east side and deliver the trees.

What about the party?

I don't know. This is
gonna take a long time.

Are... You're not
gonna go to the party?

Can you not make feel
guilty about this? I don't know.

Yeah, I just... I really
wanted you to come.

When you asked
me if I was pissed off

that your mother made me
admit that I have no plans

or that I actually
have no real plans,

that sounded a lot like a
judgment coming from you.

I didn't mean it to
come out like a judg...

Yeah, but it bothers
you. It doesn't bother me.

Felicity, I know you.

When your mother was asking
questions I didn't have answers for

and Noel did, you
were disappointed.

I was uncomfortable
for you in that moment.

Then don't defend your
mother when we get home!

She put me on the spot.
You could admit that.

Maybe you should.

Maybe you go spend
Christmas with her.

Ben...

I mean, maybe she needs you.

Maybe that's where
you should be.

Hey. Hey.

OK, you're here
four hours early,

and you knew that
I would be studying,

so... this must be serious.

Let me say it.

For 20 years, I believed
what the Bible said about sex,

that it should be shared
between a husband and his wife,

and nothing has ever made
me doubt that before... nothing.

And then I met you.

You say you're OK with
who I am in that way,

but we both know that you are
not OK with who I am in that way.

So I've been goin' over
this the past few days,

trying to figure out what to do,

analyzing it this way and
then analyzing it that way.

And then I realized

that if I'm struggling so hard to
find the answers that I need inside,

and I'm not finding them there,

then... I must be lookin'
in the wrong place.

I gotta get out of my own head.

So you're going.

So I'm going.

Thanks. Thanks for
comi" to meet me.

I know it was last
minute. It's no problem.

Um, well, you
probably have a lot of...

shopping and
stuff... stuff to do, so...

Really, it's fine.

Look, I'm not, uh... I'm not
very good at all this small talk,

so I'm just gonna
jump in, if that's OK.

OK.

I think you're pretty worried
about me and Felicity.

And at first, I have
to admit that it-it

it-it kind of bothered me.

It's because I'm
like any other guy.

I... I like to think
people are takin'

a really good look at me

before they make up their minds.

But then I thought, "You know
what? OK. You know what?

I-I... I gotta look at this
from her perspective."

Here's this guy who...

he doesn't know what
he wants to be yet.

He doesn't have a major yet.

He's got this dad who's
this dark character,

has a... has a drinking problem.

I'm not really sellin'
myself here, am I?

Go on.

Look, I... I understand

why you'd rather see Felicity
with someone like Noel,

someone who's
obviously gonna make it

and probably long
before, I mean, I figure out

what I'm going to
be doing with my life.

But I always remember

this-this one thing
a teacher said...

which was...

all the interesting
people she knew,

they had no idea what they
were gonna do with their lives

when they were 20.

So chances are,

I'm-I'm gonna turn out to
be a pretty interesting guy.

Look... for some reason,
Felicity cares about me.

And on a good day,

I feel like I might become
everything she sees in me.

And it's because of that

and it's because of about
a million other reasons

that she means...

she means pretty
much the world to me.

That's about as much as I've ever
said at one time in my entire life, so...

I'm-I'm just gonna stop.

That's gonna look lovely.

I didn't hear you come in.

Megan let me in.

I just wanted to stop by to
let you know that I made plans

to go to Santa Fe with Carol
Stillman for the holidays,

so you're off the hook.

Oh... OK.

Well, I guess that means I'm
spending Christmas alone, then.

What do you mean?

Um, I don't know.

Ben and I got
into a fight, so...

I don't know what we're doing.

Well, I have a feeling
you'll work it out.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

I was thinking.

It was unfair to compare
Ben to Paul Conrad.

I'm sorry about that.

That guy must have
really broken your heart.

Ultimately, I think
it was my fault.

I had all these expectations.

But that's not your fault.

You gave your heart to someone.

He should've taken
better care of it.

I keep thinking I should
have taken better care

of who I gave my heart to.

The one thing I can say is,

even though Ben and I
are in a fight right now,

he and Paul Conrad
have nothing in common.

I know that.

Do you remember that first week

when we came to see you here?

Yeah.

You looked so scared.

But look at you now.

How did that happen?

Isn't she a beaut?
We love this one.

It's gonna be hard
to say goodbye to her.

But you have to after a while.

That's why I'm thinkin'
you can have her...

Hi, Richard. For $30...

Jerk. Hey.

Hey. Um, is Ben here?

He just left. Oh, excuse
me. Potential tree buyers.

Right. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Merry Christmas.
You want a tree?

No. Do you know
when Ben will be back?

Yes. Ben went to
go get some coffee,

'cause it's cold as
crap out here. Yeah.

Uh, listen, I know he was
supposed to go to your thing tonight,

so thanks for
letting me have him.

Yeah, sure. How's it goin'?

Well, uh, we're zeroing
in on the profit zone, so...

Oh, yeah?

No, no, no, not really.

It's actually terrible.

Listen, will you tell Ben that
I stopped by? Yeah, sure.

Anything?

Zero. Zero?

I'm tellin' ya, it's
too late for this crap.

No, no, no. Hey! I have a
gorgeous blue spruce right here.

It's got your name on it!

What's your name? Oscar.

I have an uncle in Pittsburgh
named Oscar. Do you know him?

I don't think I do. Good,
'cause I owe him money.

Hey, Oscar's dad, come here.

What do you think, huh? It's
big enough for him to climb.

Take it home tonight. 50 bucks.

No, thanks.

We're looking for
something a little smaller.

Dad, can we get this
one? I mean, look at it.

It's just so pretty.

I mean, it's the perfect tree.

Not tonight, O. It's
just way, way too much.

Bye.

Hey, you know what?

Um, as an incentive
this year, uh,

I'm gonna let you
have the tree for free.

Hey, what? Yeah.

Come on. Come on.

No, no. Hey, hey, take the tree!

Take the tree. It's got
his name all over it.

Take the tree. Take the tree.

- Right? Look at this.
- Oscar!

Megan, I just saw Sean.

Oh, yeah? Is he rich yet?

I think he could use
a little cheering up.

Oh, really? Trees
aren't selling?

Um... I don't think so.

I gotta see this.

Hey. Hey.

♪ You gotta give it up

Mm-hmm.

♪ Oh, you've got to give it up

♪ If you want love...

Hey! Hey!

You look amazing!
Oh, thanks. Go on, yeah.

See, what did I tell you? You
can't be dressed up and depressed.

Ah, you know. Oh, want
a drink? Sure, thanks.

No problem. How's
it goin' in here?

It's good. It's busy.
Are you having fun?

Yeah, look...

Now that is one foxy lady.

I was starting to think
I'd been stood up.

Oh, no, baby. This
look takes time.

OK, honestly, did
I pull this look off?

Shut up!

Let's dance.

♪ Give it up

♪ If you want love

♪ You gotta give it up... ♪

Merry Christmas! Everybody
gets a free tree, 'cause it's...

Free... trees.

Free... trees.

Come on up, come on up.

- Enjoy, enjoy. My pleasure.
- Merry Christmas.

Hey, you want a free tree?

No, but I need a date
to a stupid holiday party.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

You know, I actually kinda
like bein' here by myself.

I mean, everything's
an opportunity.

Oh, yeah? Who do you like?

I'm kinda diggin' the young
Miss Kennedy over there.

Are you the turtle?

Yes.

Yeah, and, you know, obviously,

the parrot is...

She's Ruby.

Oh.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I'm
still not over her.

Yeah, of course, the, um...

Yeah, the parrot is...
Yeah, of course that's Ruby.

That makes sense.

I'm gonna get
something else to drink.

Do you want anything?
OK, yeah. No, thanks.

I'm good. All right.

I'm sorry for being late
and everything I said...

Hey! You, uh... you wanna...

OK. Yeah?

Yeah. All right, let's go!

OK, I have to warn you, I
am the world's worst dancer.

Careful. Merry Christmas!

Ho-ho-ho!
